In the construction of this fabric there must be some curious felicity which the eye of the philosopher would be well employed sat investigating, sod which its neighbours may profit by adopting. This, I say. Gentlemen, Woold have been an obvious iiiference. fiat what , shall we think of their understandings who draw an inference directly the reverse? and who say to its--‘ YOU hate stood, alien others have fallen; when others have crouched, yam hare borne yourselves aloft; you :dome have resisted the power which has shaken, and swallowed Jolt half the civilized world. We like not this suspicious peculiarity. There must lie something wromg ill your internal caufortnation!' With this unhappy curiosity, and in the spirit of this perverse :ana lysis, they proceed to dissect our Constitittion. They tied that, like other states, we have a monarch; that. :s no.niity, though not organized like ours, is common to all the great cnipar t . F . of E,,arop e I but that our distinction lies 1(1 4 popillar ;Assembly, ahicb gives life, and vigour, and straitly, to the whsle frame of the government. Here, thesefure, they tind the seat of our disease. Our peccaut part is. undoubtedly, the house of Commons. lichee our presumptuous exemp tion from what was the common lot of all our neighbours, the anomaly ought forthwith to be corrected ; suit, their fore, the House of 01111111i/11S nntst be reformed.--(Applause and laughter.) " Gentlemen, it cannot hut bare struck you as somewhat extraordinary, that, whereas, iii speaking of foreign Sore reigns, our reformers are never very Sparing of niatant...tly epithets; that whereas, in discussing the general principles of Government, they seldom omit .rn opp,ortnnity of discre alitiag and deriding the privileged orders of society; yet, when they canoe to discus the British Constitution, nothing cal be more tespectful than their language towards the Crown ; nothing snore forbearing than their treatment of the aristocracy. With the horse of • Commoas alone they take the freedom of familiarity; upon it they poor out all the viat: of their wrath, and exhaust their denunciations of amendment. " Gentlemen, this, thumb extraordinary, is not unintel ligible. The reformers are Wise in I heir generation. They know well ettiatigh,—atal have read plainly enough in our own history,—that the prerocatives of the Crown and the privi leges of the peerage would he but as dust in the balance against a preponderating democracy. They mean democracy and nothing else And, give them but a House of Commons constructed on their own principles, —...the peerage and the l throne may exist for a day, lint may be swept to the earth by the first angry vote of such it House of Connuons.—(Lnuil cheering.) " It is, therefore, utterly unnecessary for the Reformers to declare hostility to the Crown; it is, therefore, utterly soper- Moots for them to make sear against the Peerage. 'l't ey know that, let but their principles have full play, the Crown' anti the Peerage would he to the Constitution which they as ! sail but as the baggage to the army—and the destruction of them but as the gleanings of the battle—(\lt:eh cheering.)- 1 They know that the battle is with the [louse of Common, ' as At present coustittoo ; and that 1h , 41 caret- overt lii own, no other popular assembly constructed on their principle—as the creature and depository of the people's power, and the unreasoning instrument of the people's will,—there would not only be no choice, hot (1 wilt go further for them in avowal, though not itt intention, than they go further them a selves) there would not be a pretence for the existeuce of any other branch of the Constitution.—(Contittuesi cheering.) " Gentlemen, the whole fallacy lies in Mit : the return:era reason from fake premises, and theeefore are driving on their unhappy aeherents to false and dangerous conclusions. The Constant Mil of this co u ntry is A moNAIICITY controlled by two assembites : the I.IIC hrrellit ary, iodependent alike of the Crownatid the people : the other elected by and for the people, but elected for the purpose of controlling atol not ad ministering the Government. The error of the reformers, if error it can be called, is, that they argue as if the Corwin'. torn of this country was a democracy, inlaid (for ornament's sake) with a peerage, and topped (by sufferance) with a Crown.—(Applause and much laughter.) " If they say that for such a Constitution, that is, in effect, for an necontrolled democracy, the present House of Com mons is not sufficiently popular, they are right: but such a Vinstitu•• • s nor what we have or what we desire. are horn moot- a Monarchy which it is our duty, as much as it is for our happiness, to pressave; and which th-re cannot he a shadow of .1.610, that the reforms which are reCOilltUelijcd to its would destroy. ' " I love the monarchy, Gentlemen, because, limited and introllyd as it i$ in liar happy Constitution, 1 belie,T it to be not tially the safest depository of power, but the surest guardian of liberty.

" If, on the other hand, it be only mesa!' to say, that the 1-Touse of Commons is nut the frigid, Gorernmeul of the Conn try,--which, if all power he not only fee but in the people, the lionse of Commons might to be, if the people were ade quately represented,-1 answer. Thank God it is not so— God forbid that it. should ever aim at becoming so.' " But they look far short of the ultimate effect of the doc trines of the present day who do not see that their I endency ie nut to Make A liaise of Commons such as, in theory, it has always been defined—a third branch of the Legislature, Lot to aliNarh the legislative and executive powers into one; hi, create an immediate delegation of the whole authority of the people—to which practically, nothing could, and, in Sea suit-m!, nothing ought to stand in °ppm:it' . " Gentlemen, it would he well it these doctrines were the ebtillitions of the nonnetit, and ended with the occasions which naturally give them their freest. play; I illeali with the season of poets: at elections. Itut, onfortimatvlYt disse minated as they art ainong all tanks of the community, they are doss; permanent and incalculable mischief. floW la went abl{i• experience lost un niankmd for whett,—in what age, in what country of the world—have doctrines of this sort been reduced to practice, without leading through altar city to military despotism ? The revolutioq of the seasons is hot Mote curtail, than is this connexion of events in the course ()littoral nature.—(Land cheering.)

It is tk happy event that the day and night passed quietly ; thanks to a powerful body of Constables which the Magistracy had ap pointed. We expect to announce a large majo rity in the cause of the LOwTHEAS and of good older on every succeeding day. Mr. fhloyouam has bawled himself hoarse with his half-hundred s.peeches; he is in a violent passion, which very fortunately has not yet itto culnted the mob. Among these, he has a pretty large body of friends ; but scarcely a Gentleman has joined his standard.—Lord Lon - TnER and the Colonel spoke very briefly, but firmly and to the purpose. They were highly applauded by the re spectable part of the Electors. TO THE CANDIDATF.S WHO ARE ENGAGED IN DI:Fr KITED ELECTIONS. It may not have occurred to many of sou, particularly the young nisei inexperienced, bow great is the danger you sigma incur, if you employ the means of Bribery to obtain rotes.— What the Law of the Land lay, upon this occasion you arse supposed to know; but that is not the only rule by wfAch you are to steer, or whose precepts you are to obey. Who ever tempts a poor wretch to perjure himself,•ile, in a motal and religions sense, at least, es guilty as the aufort ninety cr e ,;. tore whose necessities 'yield to the aceurked thirst of gala. ' The Canaidate who Will, either by himself or his agent, io trodoce such a depravation of morals., can be neither a friend to his country nor to human nature, and prove, himself the very worst member of a corrupted society. The consequences of trilling with the awful sanctions of an oath are must fatal and most deplorable. The people immediately become de moralized. when once they have lust all regard for the must sacred duty of Religion, and :ire taught presumptuously to invoke their Maker restraint is then taken away, except What Can be retained by means of the sanguinary sword of the executioner, for then crimes naulfiply and :es sume every disgusting form of depravity; and with such cri minality Must every Candidate, who spurts Witb Religion and its sanctions, charge himself. The Bribery Oath is this—" I do swear I have not receireel,, or had, by myself ur any person whatsoever, in trust for inc or fur my use and benefit, directly or indirectly, any Sinn or sums of money, office, place, or employment, gift or rewards or any promise or see urny for any money, office, employment or gift, in order tea give my Vote at this Election." The several contrivances to evade this oath, such as tbil Elector ' s accepting money under colour of borrowing, anti giving a promissory note or other security fur it, which is tee be cancelled after the Election; 'eerie* money from a stranger or person in disguise, or out of a drawer or purse• left open fur the purpose; promises of money to he paid after the Election ; or stipulating fur a Place, Living, or other seri. rate advantage of any kind, if they escape the legal penalties of perjury, incur the moral guilt—for they are nninifestly within the niisehief and design of the Statute which imposes the oath. and within the terms indeed of the tall) itself; the word s" indirectly" is inserted on purpose to comprehend such cases as these. Now, let every man who suborns ant, ther consider, whether (when he prevails upon him to din late such an ,wful teat) he deset yes to be ranked amongst Christians, or whether he deserves to be trusted upon any uceasion. To he stigmatized as ;minting up to the principles of a Gentleman, is, indeed, too mild a remark upon such eons duct; it is baseness, depravity, infidelity, atheism, to perpe-. trate u: countenance such proceedings;—nor can any flints. who scuffs at the scruples which morality and religion raise against such an enormity he considered a safe person to be entrusted with any thing sacred ear honourable. There are some very young and inexperienced men, of the most excellent dispositions, and the must generous and ho nourable minds, now embarked in all the bustle of Elec tioneering ; they are but, perhaps, aware of the enormity of bribery and its effects: they are nut probably acquainted with the immoral expedients to which their Agents may resort yet, if they will Isut consider and reflect, no doubt they will, not permit the base,'dishonourable, and irreligious practice of corn/lain; the ignorant and necessitous to the ways of eternal destruction to be employed in their behalf. Every , friend to his country, and to the welfare of the human race, ought, KS much ay in him lies, to stem the torrent that must overwhelm us, if the violation of oaths b to pass wit Man teprunation anti punishment; and whenever such practices are discovered, they ought to be made pub licly known, end every mark of ignominy and contempt branded upon the accessary as well as upon the principal.--. Nor let any Ma presume to attempt to impose upon our reason ur understanding by alleging , that an agreement between the Candidates not to take advantage of the law against bribery Can ever dispense with this sacred institns tiuu : such would he to add insult to the nuijeste of the Deity, as it is injury done to the murals of the people. Upon no aceoUnt, then, my Countrymen, either -abet or encourage such vile profanation of every thing honourable, sacred, awl religious. C. P.
